If you insist that Metroidvania is an actual game genre then you also probably think vaporwave is an actual music genre.

Lol yes let's instead throw these platformers that have their levels and gameplay designed in a very specific and measurable way into the "Action/Adventure" cesspit where everything that isn't a FPS, RTS, or racing game is.

I liked, uh... the music? :shrug:

I got bored with it so fast it gave me whiplash. The game was driven by a neat idea, but the developers probably didn't realize room design needs a little bit more effort to make good in a platformer than, say, a traditional roguelike.

I had fun with Rogue Legacy despite how shallow its platforming was. It was fun to run around and hit things and collect the coins.

"Metroidvania" is a good word. It conveys a complicated idea accurately and succinctly. There currently isn't a better way to refer to these kinds of games.

I liked Rogue Legacy. It had problems but it was fun to unlock abilities and play as varying weird versions of Arthur from G&G and explore a castle.

FTL is best rogue thing though imo.
